And FreeBSD is different? OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD.. oh no! the fragmentation.

ANYBODY can spin up a distro. Of course there's fucking fragmentation. As for the package managers.. I haven't had APT break something in a DECADE at least.

I know the while "customize everything" is praised as good, but that only goes so far.

Translation: I miss the good old days when Bill Gates was throat-fucking me.

Dude.. You don't want fragmentation and you don't want choice? Then head your ass over to Mac or Windows. They already exist.

The government always pretends that a for-profit entity taking charge of taxpayer's money can have only happy outcomes. Add-in pork-barrelling contracts and scope-creep, and a lack of auditing and legal responsibility, and the result is worse outcomes on all metrics.

Right.. Like CA's high-speed rail project that has ballooned from $4B to $100B because it is being managed by the state government?

Just say "I'm a socialist cunt" and spare the rest of us the drivel. You know what for-profit companies care about? THE FUCKING PROFIT. You know what government workers don't give a shit about? The expenses.. It's not their fucking money. It's YOUR money. It's MY money.

It's a simple solution, but one that NEVER plays out in states run by Democrats. "NO CONTRACT OVERRUNS. This is the budget.. If you bid on it, you better be able to finish it, or the excess is coming out of YOUR POCKET."

There are TONS of examples of for-profit companies being able to do shit way better and cheaper than the government.

It takes a special kind of retard to think the average politician, most of whom have never operated a business, somehow have fiscal knowledge the rest of us don't, simple because they have a what? law degree?

It's not that y'all are stupid.. You are.. But that's not the part that bothers me. It's that you're stupid and so fucking convinced you are absolutely correct, yet y'all constantly display you don't rely on facts for anything. You go with feelings and just make shit up.

I ask myself why schools don't just start an hour later

Because parents have to go to work, and after-school programs have a set schedule.

Of course, employers and after-school programs could also adjust their start times for the seasons, and we could agree to switch those start times on the same day.

But that's just reimplementing DST.

EXCEPT, spending next year is projected to increase by another $1 trillion over this year's spending. Okay, it's not 47% growth like this years projected numbers, but ~ +35% is still a significant rate.

This is my point. You're biased against A.I. That's fine. You don't need a reason to not like it, or maybe you have plenty of reasons. Equally irrelevant. The only thing that matters are the NUMBERS. You point to individual actions by companies and then have extrapolated that across the whole industry. You're either cherry-picking examples or you've got biased tunnel-vision.

Samsung is dumping $73 billion into AI in the next few years. While an impressive amount of money, it's a fact that means absolutely nothing to determining the course of the Industry as a whole. There's only two numbers you need to consider to determine what direction everything is going. Company investing and consumer spending. As long as both are headed up.... Well... that would kinda make anyone talking about the sky falling look like a moron.

Both are rising fast

As an aside.. ANYONE who thinks this shit is going away... is a fucking idiot. We may have years of greater spending, we may have years of lesser spending, but anyone who thinks that there will ever be a return to a pre-AI reality is delusional. We are in the absolute infancy of this space. Probably for worse, but we are right at the start of the next arms race. My guess is that the D.O.W (D.O.D) probably is already training their own models. And you can bet your ass that China's military is doing the same thing. Those two entities, alone, will drive a DECADE of spending.. D.O.D spending was what drove the entire super-computer industry for well over five decades. Hell, they're probably still the primary driver, but I'm just speculating on that. I don't recent data.

Cracks in the industry.... The only cracks are the rocks you must be smoking...

Full disclosure.. I pay for Claude Max.. So I'm not going to pretend I don't have my own biases. But they certainly didn't influence the results I obtained because I'm only looking at the 40,000 foot view. And that view screams spending for the foreseeable future, regardless of my own personal views. Numbers don't lie... Right?

Are you retarded? Deals fall apart all the time, you clown. That, by itself, doesn't mean anything to the AI adoption / expansion rate. Investments this year will surpass $2.5 trillion. That is a 47% increase over 2025. Where are the cracks? Anthropic just signed a massive deal with xAI to lease the entirety of Colossus I plus 300 megawatts of power for about $1.25 billion PER MONTH.

Pray tell, how big was OpenAI's order with SK Hynix?

Other than a failed / collapsed deal between OpenAI and Hynix, what other data did you look at? Where I'm from, 47% growth is considered pretty damn good. What part of the world do you live in where that is indicative of an industry beginning to teeter? Lichtenstein?

He needs to start thinking about what to do with all these security bugs/issues as they are not AI hallucinations. Maybe he should spend more time fixing his processes instead of spending useless time on his weekly rant (c)(tm)

Oh yeah.. Mr. Accomplished-nothing and chicken-cunt-posting-from-Anonymity. I'm sure what the guy, who has guided the development of the most successful software package on Earth, needs is lessons from you.

Seriously, what the fuck have you done that leads you to believe your opinion has any value at all?

Boy are you out of touch.. I've created several novel projects.. I know they're novel because I did some exhaustive searches.. Personal use only. I'm not inflicting this code on anyone else since I can't properly vet it.. But it works.. and so far it works damn good. Does what I need it to do.. Exactly.. without any features I don't want. And these are complex code-bases for.. what I'm working with.. 15,000 lines.. 5 sub-units, independently launchable. GUI driven..

I have no doubt that LLMs probably aren't a great choice for commercial or widely-used software.. But if a non-programmer can sit down and use less than 50% of a $100 Anthropic subscription.. I mean.. c'mon..
